Well, Dr. Toothy wasn't as tough on me as I thought yesterday... after
strapping me in and making all sorts of dire predictions, he just went ahead
with a cleaning and a warning that I need to be more diligent with my home care,
making plans to reevaluate this in a couple of weeks. I'm not going to say this was
effective (L.A. Confidential: "Is that how you used to play
'good-cop-bad-cop'?"), but please forgive any errors I make as I learn to type
and floss at the same time.
